hilarious how the Uyghur shit basically boils down to “they have prisons!”

ok America, are we anti prison now? oh wait, no, only anti communist prisons. Prisons in america are freedom, prisons in China are oppression. I do love when Americans pretend to give a shit about the same ethnic groups they will bomb the shit out of in the blink of an eye.

Not even prisons. ABC interviewed a Uyghur souvenir seller who spent 6 months in reeducation:

He denied any mistreatment at the facility, claiming he ate well, played chess and read books and was even allowed to go home on weekends.

I can’t think of any kind of prison that lets inmates go home for the weekend.

In Scandinavian prisons this is definitely a thing

Yes, but they’re so secretive that I have zero evidence, but this is in itself evidence of their deviousness. Debate me debate me debate me

They forgot the far-left-wing academics in that line.

It’s a line of countries. Is this idiot saying we should get a homeland of our own? Who do we get to kick out of their homes?

Hear me out… We build it out of a flotilla of the combined world’s fleet of super yachts and cruise ships! And we dock it on the Principality of Sealand (they have good internet there I think)

We’re gonna need some capital ships and probably some lighter cruisers and destroyer escorts to be able to effectively do fleet maneuvers and protect our new motherland. This plan is also incredibly climate resilient.

This plan is also incredibly climate resilient.

But also incredibly climate damaging, which I guess makes it a self fulfilling prophecy!
